Updating a previous item, Paxton Lynch (shoulder) is expected to miss five weeks.

It explains why the Broncos felt so much urgency to get Brock Osweiler signed on Saturday. NFL Network is calling Lynch's injury a "bruise," but it's clearly more significant than that. There are no plans to I.R. him yet.

It means he's ineligible to play until Week 7 at soonest, although Kelly isn't expected to be active at all for the Broncos this year after major surgery on his right (throwing) wrist. In other news, 2016 first-round pick Paxton Lynch was so dreadful this preseason that the Broncos reunited with Brock Osweiler to operate as Trevor Siemian's backup.

Broncos coach Vance Joseph said Devontae Booker (wrist) won't play against the Cowboys in Week 2.

Booker finally returned to practice on Wednesday but it's going to be at least another week before he's game-ready. C.J. Anderson led the Denver backfield with 21 touches on Monday night and should continue to be the feature back ahead of veteran Jamaal Charles.

Fowler benefitted from a pass-heavy gamescript, with Trevor Siemian throwing 40 times. He's had a bigger role than expected, but has a low-upside as the No. 3 option behind Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. Fowler had two touchdowns in the season opener and nearly scored before leaving Week 2 with a concussion. He's on the WR5 radar in deeper redraft leagues.
